Politics has become a very dirty game in America, and if you don’t know how to play the game, the game is going to play you. Donald Trump and Seth Rich are both victims of this cold, hard reality, and hopefully what has happened to them will help the American people understand what is really going on in Washington. Contrary to what many may believe, politics is not an easy road to fame, wealth and glory. For every Obama or Clinton that makes it big, there are thousands of others that have had their careers shattered, their reputations ruined and their futures destroyed by the game. And those such as Seth Rich that cross the wrong people at the wrong time end up dead.

This is why it is so rare for good people to get into politics these days. From a purely selfish standpoint, it just isn’t worth it.

Trump has even admitted that he thought that being president would be easier. I don’t think that he realized that the world of Washington politics is such a minefield. One wrong move and a president can be toast.

And it would be bad enough if it was just the Democrats that were determined to take him down. Unfortunately, there are Republicans such as Senator John McCain that are quite eager to jump on any new Trump scandal. Just look at how quick he was to talk to the press about this latest one. The following comes from the Hill…

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday that allegations President Trump shared highly classified information with top Russian officials are “deeply disturbing,” becoming the latest GOP lawmaker to raise concerns over the meeting.

“The reports that the President shared sensitive intelligence with Russian officials are deeply disturbing,” McCain said in a statement.

There are a lot of other top Republicans other than McCain that hate Trump as well, and so Trump better hope that he is never facing impeachment because a lot of them would absolutely jump at the opportunity to take him down for good.

“It is a looming constitutional crisis because it involves a potential confrontation as did Watergate between the president and other branches of government,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said last week, after Trump fired Comey. “It may well produce impeachment proceedings.”

“On the issue of impeachment, I am doing my homework,” Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said at a town hall event in April. “I will just say I understand the calls for impeachment, but what I am being cautious about and what I give you food for thought about is that if President Trump is impeached, the problems don’t go away, because then you have a Vice President Pence who becomes President Pence.”

We desperately need to get Trump some friends in Congress, but so far there has been very little enthusiasm for a pro-Trump movement in 2018.

Instead, conservatives just seem to be content to bitterly fight with one another.

Let us hope that changes soon, otherwise 2018 is going to be very ugly.

On the left, I don’t know why anyone would ever want to go into politics. And I am not just talking about as a candidate either. The fear and intimidation tactics that are used in Democratic circles are well known, and Seth Rich found out the hard way that you do not cross party leaders.

According to Fox News, the FBI has confirmed that Rich had been in contact with WikiLeaks just before his death…

An FBI forensic report of Rich’s computer — generated within 96 hours after Rich’s murder — showed he made contact with WikiLeaks through Gavin MacFadyen, a now-deceased American investigative reporter, documentary filmmaker, and director of WikiLeaks who was living in London at the time, the federal source told Fox News.

“I have seen and read the emails between Seth Rich and WikiLeaks,” the federal investigator told Fox News, confirming the MacFadyen connection. He said the emails are in possession of the FBI, while the stalled case is in the hands of the Washington Police Department.

Of course everyone knows what really happened. Rich was the one that leaked a treasure trove of Democratic National Committee documents to WikiLeaks, and as a result he was killed for doing it. The Fox News report that I quoted above says that a total of “44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments” were leaked by Rich…

The federal investigator, who requested anonymity, said 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments between Democratic National Committee leaders, spanning from January 2015 through late May 2016, were transferred from Rich to MacFadyen before May 21.

In the legal world, there is a huge difference between the facts and what you can actually prove in court. And at this point we may never know who really murdered Rich because the police were ordered “to stand down on this case”…

Wheeler also told us, “I have a source inside the police department that has looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘Rod, we were told to stand down on this case and I can’t share any information with you.’ Now, that is highly unusual for a murder investigation, especially from a police department. Again, I don’t think it comes from the chief’s office, but I do believe there is a correlation between the mayor’s office and the DNC and that is the information that will come out [Tuesday].

Most of our politicians are simply well-dressed gangsters that have learned to play the game of politics.

And every time election season rolls around, we just keep on sending the same thugs back to Washington over and over again.

What is wrong with us?

I would like to hope for something better in 2018, but at this point we have become so “dumbed down” that only 36 percent of Americans can find North Korea on a map of the world.

Our Constitutional Republic has almost been completely destroyed, and we are running out of time to try to save it.

McCain is right, it is deeply disturbing that Trump may have given highly classified information to the Russians after saying that he did not such thing. With all of the name calling and mudslinging that Trump did during his campaign, it should be no surprise that this opposition is coming back against him. We will see if he is able to take the punches that he gave out, or if he will try to take away the freedom of press first.

BULLSH*T – he did NOT! And McCain is NEVER ‘right’!

rentslave

I’ll bet that more than half of the people surveyed thought that Hillary would become the President if Trump were removed.

Typical response from a blind Trump supporter. Little do you know Trump is a good candidate for being the Antichrist. Open up your eyes and wake up! Can’t you see what is unfolding right before our eyes?
You said McCain is never right? Huhh? Actually I have more confidence in McCain who fought for our country and having our nation’s best interest in mind whereas Trump knows very little about foreign relations and why/how wars are fought.

HadItWithThem

I am with marlene, you are full of BULLSH*T plain and simple. McCain is a P0S democrat in disguise and is NO GOOD. Typical blinded SHEEP you are!

marlene

Typical ignorant, misinformed and uninformed retort from someone who is not a Trump supporter! Gee, imagine someone like YOU being such an expert on President Trump (about whom you obviously know almost nothing), the anti-Christ (about whom you definitely know absolutely nothing), and John McCain (about whom you know only what the fakesteam media feeds you). Stop sucking on poisonous teats and do your own research! By the way, I would just love to hear your “expertise’ on foreign relations and ‘how wars are fought” since it will take only one or two seconds, like saying the word “NOTHING” – lol. Pardon my sarcasm but people like you endanger America’s sovereignty and my security and I don’t like it.

marlene

HadItWithThem, we could educate these people with documented evidence in articles and video links, but they won’t read or watch what they don’t want to see or hear anyway. So, thank you – I too have “HadItWithThem” (great name).

marlene

PS: McCain said he was a POW, which extensive research could not prove, because he most likely went AWOL instead. Look beyond the republican clothes to see the liberal underneath.

Ras

I am glad you are showing your true colors. You are being a hateful, judgmental person. You are deluded by Trump’s fake promises of protecting America and its “sovereignty.” You saying I don’t know anything about Trump, The Antichrist, foreign relations, or how wars are fought? How on earth would you know? You don’t know me at all.
For your information I have a masters degree and am a teacher in the public school system with endorsements in English and history. I can tell you the reasons why America has been involved in all previous wars-both the ones that we entered after being attacked (WW I and II) and the ones we have started or made worse (Vietnam and Iraq).

I am also a student of bible prophecy. I know what the bible has to say about the end times and especially about the Antichrist. I have read the bible through several times and can tell you from the top of my head where all of the scriptures that speak about the Antichrist are located. Can you tell me the names of 2 books from the Old Testament and 6 books from the New Testament that speak about the Antichrist? The things Trump has said and the way that he has said them are certainly traits that the Antichrist will have. I don’t actually think he is THE Antichrist (since bible prophecy seems to indicate he will arise from the Middle East) but he is a liar and an megalomaniac and someone Satan can use for his purposes, but then again that is the case with most in politics today. What saddens me about people like you is that you blindly follow a man like Trump who makes grandiose boasts of promises without being able to keep them.

Ras

By your choice of words you are probably an uneducated, hateful, racist redneck. I won’t waste my time with you unless you can articulate your thoughts and words better without jumping to forgone conclusions and rash judgments.

Its sad because you are so brainwashed. Can you provide any documentation[s] showing any COLLUSION between Trump and Russians. The only collusion i see is with the democrats and the media attempting to destroy Trump.
